A text adventure by Jonathan Cauldwell, the author of the "Egghead" series and Arcade Game Designer? And no comment whatsoever in World of Spectrum or Spectrum Computing! I'd love to try this one, but Chronosoft only sells the digital edition with the physical cassette, and they don't ship to Spain...
It's been mentioned on the SC forums. I don't think it's been deliberately ignored over there (not sure about the other site) but Jonathan isn't currently looking to engage with the wider Spectrum community after some issues in the past. Sadly, real issues with packages getting stuck/being bounced back by customs (and VAT red-tape) is restricting where UK-based physical game manufacturers will ship.
